The 15th Annual Eco Art & Media Festival
The 15th annual Eco-Art and Media Festival fell on the eve of York’s 50th birthday. We are reminded that York’s history extends beyond recent events into a past that has shaped how we experience the University today. The Eco-Art and Media Festival is proud to provide artists and activists in the York community with the opportunity to express unresolved feelings and thoughts, to celebrate their successes and to come together as a community. Please join us as we explore the theme “Moving On: Expression of Struggle, Healing and Hope.”
